Zheng Qing and Zheng Hong both said that they would discuss it with Dali and Xiaoli, and thanked Su Liuer for her recognition and cultivation of the two children. They also enthusiastically asked her to stay for dinner, but Su Liuer refused on the grounds that she had other things to do.
Su Liuer did have something to do. Mrs. Zhang came back from Shanghe County today and went to the shop to ask her to have dinner together in the evening.
Before the agreed time, Su Liuer went to Qingxi Academy first.
Zhu Hongan was going to leave Qingxi Academy to study elsewhere, so she had to say hello to Master Liang in advance. She could also ask which academy in Longcheng was better. Naturally, scholars knew more about these things.
Moreover, Master Liang is indeed a very good teacher, and Su Liuer wants to hear his opinion.
When Su Liuer arrived at the academy, Master Liang was not teaching a class. He was just urging students to memorize their lessons. Mrs. Liang went to the classroom door and called him out, telling him that Su Liuer had arrived.
Master Liang had a very good impression of Su Liuer. He also knew that Su Liuer's business was booming recently and she was very busy. She must have something important to tell him that she came to the academy specially. So he asked Mrs. Liang to look after the students for him and went to see Su Liuer himself.
Su Liuer told Master Liang her purpose directly, and his expression was quite complicated. He was surprised at first, then understood, and then happy, but also mixed with a hint of sadness.
"This small town of Qingxi is naturally not as prosperous as Longcheng, and my small academy is certainly not as good as the academy in Longcheng. Hongan is so smart, it would be a good thing if he could study in a better academy."
Master Liang was naturally reluctant to part with Zhu Hongan, a smart and well-behaved student, but as a teacher, he hoped that Zhu Hongan could have a better environment to study and have more chances to pass the exam.
Going to the academy in Longcheng is really a good choice.
Master Liang himself had limited learning resources, so even though he worked hard enough and was not stupid, he was still far behind those students from prosperous places.
Of course, there were students from poor families, like Liu Song, but there was only one such person in Qingxi Town in the past ten years. Moreover, Qingxi Academy had already been established when Liu Song was studying, while Master Liang relied on self-study when he was studying. This is also a huge gap.
Later, Master Liang carefully introduced several academies in Longcheng to Su Liuer, and selected two of them and suggested that Su Liuer give priority consideration. It can be said that he was very specific and thoughtful.
Su Liuer not only listened carefully, but also borrowed paper and pen from the study to make some simple notes, and carefully put the paper away when she left.
At this time, Zhu Hongan had finished class, so Su Liuer took him directly to Zhang's house, and Wang Po would go there by herself. This was all agreed in advance.
Liang Xue brought a carriage full of things today, including fresh chicken, duck, fish and meat. They were all prepared by Feng Zhengqing and his wife at the request of Old Madam Feng. She and Zhang Zhengping definitely couldn't finish all the food at home, so she invited Su Liuer's family to have dinner together.
It just so happened that Su Liuer had been too busy recently, and the two of them had not seen each other even though they were both in Shanghe County. Now that Su Liuer's plan to open a branch store had come to an end, Liang Xue also wanted to congratulate her.
Liang Xue cooked this dinner herself. The whole table was filled with love and sincerity.
During the meal, Captain Zhang, who had drunk a little wine, asked Su Liuer a question very seriously.
"I don't know how to do business, let alone such a big restaurant. If I really give it to you, won't it be ruined? I really don't want it, but my cousin is stubborn and insists on giving it back to me. Can you give me some advice? How can I make him give up this idea?"
